Atlas 5 launches Space Force satellite to test early warning technology

After waiting out cloudy weather, the U.S. Space Force launched two satellites atop an Atlas 5 rocket Friday to test ballistic and hypersonic missile early warning and tracking technology and to deploy a maneuverable spacecraft carrying an unknown number of classified payloads.Already running a day late because of stormy weather, the $1.1 billion USSF-12 mission got off to a ground-shaking start at 7:15 p.m. EDT when its United Launch Alliance rocket thundered to life with 2.3 million pounds of thrust from its first stage engine and four strap-on boosters.Trailing a spectacular jet of flaming exhaust, the 196-foot-tall rocket rapidly climbed from pad 41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, knifing through low clouds and quickly disappearing from view as it streaked away to th...

Why Micron Technology Stock Is Falling Today

What happened  Shares of Micron Technology (MU -2.73%) were sliding this morning after the company reported its third-quarter results. The company beat analysts' consensus earnings and revenue estimates for the quarter, but the company's guidance for the upcoming quarter disappointed investors.  As a result, the tech stock was down by 5% at 12:20 p.m. ET. So what  Micron reported non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings of $2.59 in the quarter, which beat Wall Street's consensus estimate of $2.44 per share.

But instead of looking at the company's top- and bottom-line beats, investors instead latc...

Secure Act 2.0 will require investments in modernizing technology

(Photo: Shutterstock) Nearly half of employees are concerned with their household’s financial wellbeing, citing saving for retirement and having savings in case of an emergency as top sources of financial stress. What’s more, three in four workers say they trust their employer – and believe it is their responsibility – to help them improve their overall financial well-being through benefits and offerings. That’s a tall order for employers to fill. Even taller when you consider the recent passing of Secure Act 2.0 in the House.  Secure Act 2.0 – or the more formal title of Securing a Strong Retirement Act 2.0 – generally intends to enable workers to save more, enhance and simplify employer-sponsored retirement plans for plan participants and plan sponsors, and lower the costs to employe...

Scammers using deep fake technology to apply for remote work

article LOS ANGELES - The FBI says scammers are using deep fake technology in order to apply to remote tech jobs.  According to the FBI’s latest announcement on their Internet Crime Complaint Center, more and more companies have been reporting people applying to jobs using images, video, and recordings that have been manipulated to look like someone else.  What is a deep fake? Deepfakes are described by Microsoft as "photos, videos or audio files manipulated by artificial intelligence (AI) in hard-to-detect ways." The most common deepfakes – a word that combines computational deep learning and fake – replace the real person in a video with someone else. And they can be used very effectively to make it look like someone, typically a famous person, is saying and doing something they nev...
